PIK Avenue Shopping MallJakarta, Indonesia

The lighting design brilliantly demonstrates dynamic LED Lighting’s ability to enhance a building with energy and vibrancy.

Using LED fixtures creates a layer

over the building like an extra skin, which gives lighting the ability to present the design, or the beauty, of the building, and become more than just light points.”

Paul Gunawan - Lighting designer, Litac Consultant

Customer challenge

PIK Avenue is a mixed-use project comprising a shopping mall and two-tower hotel. The building itself is a remarkable architectural achievement, especially its majestic curved façade. The aim was to apply dynamic façade lighting to enhance and showcase this unique building, while respecting its complex and elegant architecture.

The right lighting

Lighting designer Paul Gunawan of Litac Consultant and his team worked with an architect on several dynamic lighting scenarios to develop a solution that worked with the building’s specifications, distinct features and environment. Philips Lighting contributed to the initial thought process and advised the team, providing various test samples and assisting in finalizing the solution.

The architecture's complexity required customizable lighting technologies that combined creative flexibility, power and reliability. Paul Gunawan chose Color Kinetics by Philips, which also met the installation’s sustainability and durability requirements. The fixtures were also suitably subtle, meaning the lighting design did not look off-putting in daylight, which was an important consideration.

The design featured the iColor Flex LMX Gen2, flexible strands of large, high-intensity, full-color LED nodes designed for extraordinary effects and expansive installations without the constraints of fixture size, shape, or space. Each strand consists of 50 individually addressable LED nodes which dynamically integrate power, communication, and control. The lighting design illuminates PIK with horizontal lines that complement the distinctive architecture. Philips Value Added Partner Chayolite played a key role for this façade's scenarios.
